Dancing Mushrooms

2Tbsp olive oil or cooking oil

3 shallots, cut into thin wedges (chopped onion works well here.  Think 1/4 cup or so)

1 1/2 t bottled minced garlic (or 3 cloves fresh)


8 cups fresh oyster, crimini or button mushrooms (I use portobella, but feel free to use your favorites)

1/4 cup snipped fresh mixed herbs (such as tarragon, rosemary, basil oregao, and/or parsley) or the equivalent dried herbs

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste



In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add shallots/onion and garlic.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Add mushrooms; cook for 6-8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.  Stir in herbs, salt and pepper.



This is a reat side dish to almost any beef recipe, but I tend to have it ith the Beef tenederloins in wine sauce, as with the potobellas, it’s an intense dish.
